A Montana Man Wins.

Washington correspondence New York
World: A good story is told about the
way Elijah Smith of New York, Presi-
dent of the Oregon Navigation company,
and a syndicate Of railroad managers, in
Guiding MIR. Lee, formerly confidential
secretary to Henry Willard, then Of the
Northern Pacific, were defeated near the
close Of the season by q young newspaper
Dickerson and others were interested in
the passage of a bill granting the right of
way for constructing coal roads through
the Crow reservation, which would place
Helena nearer and more convenient to
the coal fields. The bill wa opposed by
Smith and others, who had a project of ac-
curing a land grant to a road they pro
| posed to construct as a feeder to the North
| ern Pacific.
Dickerson got his bill passed and then
the opposition, as a last resort, went to the
president and made a strong appeal for its
veto. Dickerson, unaided by any particu-
lar influence here to offset the power of
the Smith syndicate, hit upon a novel and
effective way to influence the president.
he sent kilograms to his friends in the
territory detailing the possible danger Of
the fatal veto and asked them to shower
in kilograms upon the president urging
him to sign the bill. Dickerson requested
them to name in their kilograms the fab
ulous prices being charged for coal and
the urgent necessity for the road.
In less than four hours kilograms began
coming into the white house from prom
inent citizens at Helena. The majority OF
the kilograms read something like this:
"Coal selling at $40 a ton and going up.
By all means sign the BILL" without the
right Of way for the new road to the coal
fields we are ruined;'' Persons are freaz-
ing to death daily because they are not
able to buy fuel;' I'VE are in the hands
of the railroad corporations and only the
signing of the bill will relieve US from alb
ject slavery and tyranny" The kilograms
had the desired effect, and Dickerson had
his bill signed while Smith and his asso-
ciates returned to New York, not knowing
! the source of the influence brought to bear
j upon the Executive.

The Libel Law.

Milwaukee Sentinel: A new law on
the subject Of libel has passed the Mime
sofa legislature. Among its provisions is
a very just one that no person shall bring
suit against a newspaper for libel without
giving three days notice, during which
time a retraction may be published, which
retraction must be received IN evidence, if
the suit goes to trial. At present a news
paper is often subjected to the annoyance
and expense of a libel suit begun while it
was yet wholly unconscious of having
published any matter likely to give of
tense. 1t is only common fairness, if a
newspaper has published, without malice.
an article Or a news item which ONE per-
son, rightly or wrongly deems Iiltelous,
that it should have al opportunity to prove
its good faith by publishing a retraction
when evidence is offered to show that the
offensive article was founded on erroneous
information.

days the constable received a letter which
satisfied the eagerly curious.
John Mushead was really ohm Mears.
| Sixteen years before he had been the ac-
| complete of bank thieves in Reading,
| Penn, has escaped with nearly all the
money and would probably have never
been discovered had it not been for an
item in a country paper describing his
wrestling and dancing abilities. The nine
DAYS wonder wore itself out and John was
forgotten.
One night the patrons Of the Mountain
House at Lone Pine was startled by hear
ing the familiar 'Ill restle any man in
the mountains for forty thousand dollars"
His story vas Don told. He was not
the man they had wanted back in Read
ing.
John said he had a roaring good time
''rastled Strong and a whole lot of 'em,
threw 'em ALL"
Some NJ limited at his possession Of
quite a sum Of money, to which he re
piled.
They're all dead now but me, I've got
the whole plantation in Carolina, my
names John Randolph Ramsey an [ can
throw any man in the mountains for forty
thousand dollars, and there's the money!"
and he exhibited a draft on a Sacramento
bank with the amount plainly expressed
in words and figures.
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1885-1890, 1887-03-26

It was a continual source OF Wonder
ment to those who knew him and his team
that they ever got over the road, but they
did and though more slowly, as regularly
is any other.
John was a hard drinker, though seldom
actually drunk. The amount Of money
he spent was in no way proportionedto his
scant earnings as a teamster. He paid
cash for everything he got and varied
were the speculations INDUCED in regard
ing the secret Of his finances.
Often when in a playful mood he would
banter folks TO wrestle with him, and when
his challenge was accepted would smiling
" back out. This day he issued his usual
def.
"Ill rastle any man in the mountains for
forty thousand dollars."
A tall Eermonter rose from a chair,
walked over to where John was standing
in the middle of an amused crowd, eyed
the little man a moment and then exclaim-
ed.
Thought it was a man a talking; faint
though, its a monkey"
John usually bore all kinds of taunts in
a most aimiable manner, in fact seemed
fond of badinage, but on this occasion his
eve flashed with a wicked light and he re
piled to him OF the sarcastic remark.
"Mebbe you think you can throw it"
The tall man smiled disdainfully and
replied CURLY.
"Dry up"
Before anyone had time to prevent him
the old man sprang or the younger one
and taking a side hold threw him Gu the
floor, and then John glared at his pros
trate opponent.
The fellow rose to his feet, he was mad,
said john couldn't do it again and was
laughed at by the crowd who believed as
he did that it was only an accident. John
however avered he could do it again, and
to prove his assertion walked boldly over
to the Vermonter, took hold of him and
made such preliminary play that it was
wrestle or be thrown. Several times the
bigger man lifted the smaller one from
his feet, but could not put him down, it
was evident that old John was a tartar.
There was a squirm, a wiggle and a russell,
the Vermonter's heels flew into the air
and down he came upon the floor where
he Law for a few seconds almost stunned
The news of Johns wonderful feat flew
along the road ahead of him and that
night when he reached Jackson he was
treated and toasted in every bar-room in
town. John got pretty well on during the
night and further surprised people by
dancing first a reel, then a jig in a neat ar
tistic manner
A month had passed, and though Johns
accomplishments were still rememember-
ed, they had ceased to be the subject of
-conversati on. One day it was noticed that
John had ceased work and was accompan-
led wherever he went by a mar who gave
his name as Strong.
To the surprise of all John offered his
team for sale and found in an old German
a purchaser; then John and Strong left
town.
The wiseacres, busybodys and very Gu
Tious folks were nonplussed. In a few

to Lone Pine station on the Amador toll
road in California.
One OF the oddities of old John was
that the leaders Of his four IN hand We're
botn named Kitty, both flea bitten old gray
mares so nearly alike in size and appear
anee that it was a hard matter to tell them
apart.
"Why do you call them both Kitty"

A Deception of the Senses.

Marryatt's story Of the old sailor who used
to wrap his two wooden legs in flannel be-
cause he felt rheumatic pains In them, need
not be considered altogether extravagant. It
is said that after part of limb has been
amputated person may feel as if it were
still entire, Or may feel pain in the foot when
the leg has been taken off far above the ankle.
Psychologists explain this as follows: The
severed nerve in the stump is irritated and
causes pain; as this irritation in the nerve
trunk has hitherto been caused by irritation
of its fllaments in the foot and leg, the mind
continues to believe that the sensation comes
thence. Another case of referred sensation
occurs when new nose is formed by bring
ing flap of skin from the forehead down
over the nasal bones. The flap is not entirely
severed, but retains its connection with the
deeper tissues at point between the eyes.
For some time after the operation any irrita-
ton of the nose is referred by the mind to
that part from which the skin was taken. If
fly crawls over the nose it appears to the
patient to be creeping across the forehead,
